Hi Gang. I started taking Gleevec in pill form the first of January 2009. I've been on the capsules for 9 years. Has anyone that's had the same change noticed any change in how they feel? My Doctors nurse from Chicago sent me a e-mail this morning asking me that question. greenie ***

Hi Greenie, I was on capsules and then was switched to the pill form, and never noticed any difference. I had side effects with both of them, and didn't notice any new ones or different ones, and they were a lot. I'm now on Tasigna, and am doing much better so far and I've been on it for 6 mo

Hi: Why is everyone being switched to the pill from the capsule, and everyone seems to have different side effects from it. I just refilled my 400mg. capsules. I do not want the pill, if I am doing fine on my capsule all these years. On Jan 19, 4:38 pm, myvet...@aol.com wrote: > Hi Gang. > > I

Hi Greenie:  I went into the study in Oct. of 2000.  I was also told that if I ever needed my Gleevec, and did not have insurance they would give it to me free.  When my husband was out of work for almost a year, they did give it to me at no cost.  I know where your coming from.  You said you ar
